Thank you for finally putting out a good tutorial for vector art in CTA5! There is more than one way to rig a character. Most tutorials show all the work in CTA instead of doing the major work in your SVG editor. This way is much better for ability to edit later.

Nice video. Can this character walk sideways or in 3/4 view with the feet frontal like they are here? Would it be better to create the character with a side 3/4 body for more flexibility?
I've found with these types of simple, no edge line characters, you just need 45, 90 feet/shoes, and it's quite convincing to use it for all angles. Here is an example where I used my SIMPLE VECTOR front facing characters to walk sideways and it's quite convincing. So this girl is front facing, but it's quite convincing that it looks almost 90 degree or at least 45. czcams.com/video/-lyrbld_HOo/video.html

I think I'd prefer to draw body parts separately then import them one-by-one into CA5. I'm considering buying CA5 so I can create my own cartoon youtube channel but know nothing about animation but I'm willing.
During the time-lapse aren't you supposed to be dragging components of your model into the folders of the dummy to replace them. The time-lapse just appears to show you randomly adding and renaming folders. Apart from that surely the folder structure does not have be renamed all the required folders are already in place. That is why it is a template.
This character has many additional components, so I'm actually adding folders to the template, which then required adding bone labels with the exact naming structure. It's for sure made by programmers as its not how I'd want to layout the structure for ease of use, but its how Reallusion made it. So yes, new folders being added for new things not in the original template. The template gives you the basics, then you add to it as you find you want to add things like blush on cheeks, new mouth sprites, additional eye sprites, new hands, new hair components besides front and back, etc.. czcams.com/video/8aT8DjzvrfQ/video.htmlsi=RlG38wMkTY-8IRnB&t=598
here? czcams.com/video/8aT8DjzvrfQ/video.htmlsi=elEerPQP5vlnYxp3&t=606 Happy to make a follow up on this series to answer questions and go into details.
@Boxels is it finisher yet. Been binge watching these and it's the best out there. Finally I think I can move away from psd files to illustrator file. Can't wait for pt3
So this is pretty much what you have to do for just one character I guess this is the downside of doing it like this infected format cuz it'll be so much easier to just do it frame by frame since you don't have to worry about another technical things you can just throw it directly but it takes longer and you have to redo all the drawings every time for every frame so everything has this advantage and disadvantage I guess and what matters here is the ability to be able to produce content on your own fast and Effectively so I guess this is where this comes in and takes advantage of that that is quick and you only have to do these characters one time and you'll be able to reuse it for many purposes but man doesn't take A lot of time to create just one character. But still it's one character that can last you for ever and then all you got to do if you need to change something just modify something little by little that's the main parts are already there everything is just tweaking.
... and be able to use the animations others have done, so the implication is what you deduced, saves so much time. I absolutely agree in that I get frustrated with being forced to work in the confines of the program, but I overcome that with toon boom harmony, or exporting a transparent video from CTA5 to adobe after effects, or on my iPad pro with flippa clip or pro create or other animation apps to supplement what is not helpful or intuitive in CTA5.
@@Boxels Well it really doesn't matter to me All that much seeing as I don't plan on using this program anytime soon it just seems like one of those flashy ad programs it's not really a cartoon animator program per se it doesn't have any drawing tools or anything you have to actually work with external programs to actually do something with this and that on its own it's going to be tedious and annoying and it's just going to cause a whole bunch of headaches down the line i've also heard that you are limited to 10 deactivations for this program so if you are somebody who likes to take your laptop to a park or something that's not going to happen with this anytime soon I think after 10 deactivations and reactivation you're going to lose a program and you going to have to rebuy it again or something!
@@Boxels It's all really just relevant I mean if you're going to be working on this program then focus just on this program it's not like you're working on both programs that maintenance lee at the same time cuz I feel like if you're going to be working in adobe after effect you going to be working on that program before you work on any other not at the same time so it's like you're doing one thing at a time so you want to create a character okay you can create the character in Photoshop or whatever program you using you use that program and you are focused on that the whole time until it's time to actually export it into the cartoon animator 5 program and then you focus on that on that I figured last the best way to handle this because it's hard to see what you are doing it the text is so small that I can't see or understand exactly what you're doing which makes this probably more complicated than it needs to be.

I think you know your stuff superb. thumbs up. However, there is a difference between knowing and teaching others what you know. You know your stuff by heart, but your pupils know nothing or very little, so they want to learn from you. Try to put yourself in their shoes. You have mentioned that you are fast, that you are racing ahead. That is an excellent quality if you need to finish something on a tight deadline. If you want teach someone and you want to share your knowledge, not just show how your brilliance (people are selfish, they don’t care about you, but what is in it for them ), it’s necessary to get on the level of your students. The basic rule is to slow down, tell them what you going to tech them, then tech them the subject and then make a summary what you just taught them. As you have mentioned in one of your comments, Reallussion rejected your proposal to teach under their wing. Check one of their guys Gary Pye and how he teaches CA5 Rigging, (czcams.com/video/oeZquezfy4Q/video.html) you may find out why. Lear something from his approach and I am sure that Reallussion will welcome you with the open arms. We all need to learn from others. I have been doing animation over 50 years and I am still learning.. As Seneca said over 2000 years ago: “Associate with people who are likely to improve you”😀👍
